Glioma cell activation by Alzheimer's peptide Abeta1-42, alpha1-antichymotrypsin, and their mixture.

Abstract
We compared the effects of Alzheimer’s peptide

(Ab1–42), a1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) and an ACT/Ab1–42

mixture on human glioma DK-MG cells. The solution of

Ab (5 mM) formed by 2-h incubation at room temperature

induced tumour necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and interleukin

(IL)-6 levels by 55 and 45%, respectively, and increased

gelatinase B activity by 67%, while exposure of

cells to the ACT/Ab1–42 mixture (1:10 molar ratio ACT:

Ab1–42) under the same experimental conditions showed

no effect on IL-6 levels or gelatinase B activity, but

strongly induced TNF-a (by 190%), compared to the con-

CMLS, Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 59 (2002) 1734–1743

trols. Stimulation of the cells with Ab1–42 alone, but not

with ACT, increased by about 20% low-density lipoprotein

(LDL) uptake and mRNA levels for LDL receptor and

HMG-CoA reductase, while the ACT/Ab1–42 mixture significantly

increased LDL uptake (by 50%), up-regulated

mRNA levels for LDL receptor and HMG-CoA reductase

by 48 and 63%, respectively, and increased lipid accumulation

by about 20-fold. These data suggest a possible new

role for Ab in Alzheimer’s disease through its interaction

with the inflammatory reactant, ACT. (Less)
